Chapter 157 - They Die In That Surgery

The next day,

Mr. Carson serves Luna breakfast, he makes blueberry pancakes and places it on Luna's plate while she's sitting on the stool in front of the kitchen island. She stares the pancake and presses her lips together before she takes the maple syrup and squeezes it on top of it with lots of drips.

"Isn't it gonna be too sweet?" Mr. Carson frowned looking at the pancake and Luna only faintly smile at him.

"Yep..do you know Raymond had a sweet tooth? He likes sweet things despite his cold and Pharoah's attitude." She chuckles and cuts the pancake before eating it.

She then squirming her eyes and chews it slowly. "Right…too sweet." She comments and keeps continue to eat. Looking at her state, Mr. Carson could only sigh and eat his breakfast.

'Just let her be..she's been stressing out these days.'

After breakfast, they both went to find Dr. Fang's house and end up at the clinic where his wife owned.

Luna look at Mr. Carson with a questioning face. "Is this the right place?"

He also frowned a bit but then he nods his head after looking at the piece of paper he got from the nurse yesterday. "That's what the nurse give me yesterday."

Luna sighs and pats on his back. "Let's check it out."

They both walk into the clinic and was spotted by Dr. Susan, Dr. Fang's wife. "Luna?" She was surprised to see the girl and Mr. Carson coming to her clinic today. She immediately looks around before she brings them both to the consultation room.

"Susan, do you know where is Lim?" Mr. Carson starts as they walk inside the room.

Sighing, she nodded her head. "He's here. I'll call him out." She said and went to the next room that adjoined with the one they were standing.

"Lim! Come out." She knocks on the door and yelled to which both of her guests flinched a bit.

Creak! The door was open and Dr. Fang got out of the room. He looks like he was just wake up. When he saw Luna and Mr. Carson sits on the sofa inside his wife's consultation room, he was shocked and rub his eyes a few times.

"Luna? Charles?! Oh my god, I'm not dreaming am I?" He said with a bit happy in his voice before he suddenly turns gloomy.

"Oh, god…I'm so sorry.." He starts to mumbles before Susan smacks his head with her hand. "It's your fault. Now, go and explain to them." She glared at him before she went to his desk. Intercom her assistant to cancel the morning session for today.

"Lim, what happen to you? Why you never come back to the mansion?" Mr. Carson started and slowly Dr. Fang take a sit on the single chair, looking so helpless.

"I'm sorry. I should tell you about this before."

Luna already feels uneasy when saw Dr. Fang keep saying sorry. "I met him yesterday night but he seems..like he doesn't remember me, what happen to him?"

Dr. Fang looks so guilty right now. "I…Mm," He gulped and continue again. "He was forced to go under a risky surgery by his parents."

"Huh?" Luna scrunched her eyebrow and look so confused.

"He..he had a severe condition when you accidentally hit his head with the wooden accessories last time when you both fought. His condition is not stable yet to go for major surgery and I give him a med for reducing the blood clot, but it seems like it's not working and he also had an aneurysm in his brain blood vessel."

Luna and Mr. Carson still focusing on listening to his explanation while Dr. Susan only observing them from the desk. She was so shocked that day when her husband suddenly went to her clinic and sobbing like a child.

"Raymond asked me to keep it secret from anyone and it somehow leaked to Mr. James and he…he threatens me with Susan's life and I can't just ignore it..I…I can't.." He rubs his face a few times before he continues again.

"I keep updating his condition to one of the finest neurosurgeons in this continent and he gives us the date when he should go under the deathly surgery. The chance for him to survive is less than 10% and Mr. James…keep pushing him to perform the surgery without Mr. Raymond's consent. That's when they abduct him and bring him to Minnesota. I was there, but I'm not on the team."

"They won't allow me to go in there and I watched them perform the surgery from the glass room. Raymond…he, he literally dies back then for a few minutes, and they give him a little shock wave into his heart and brain until he was brought to life again."

Luna cupped her hand on her mouth. Urging to not let out one single voice while her eyes start teary again.

"He lost most of his memory because of the wave. He was saved but then..he was trap again."

Luna inaudibly cry. "What about the other two personalities?" Mr. Carson asked.

This time, Dr. Susan step in, she slowly walks to them. "He woke up with the memory of the year 2010 when his memory never had any experience of the accident, fighting or problem with his family and girlfriend. So literally, he never had trauma in his life and the other two personalities… vanish. Not existing anymore. They die in that surgery they perform and leave him with the only main personality now."

Luna cup her hand to her ears. Not wanting to hear anymore. It was so shocking that she will never meet them again. All of them now gone. Every single memory of her in his mind now gone. Everything happens because of her. When she can't control her sadness anymore, she starts feeling hard to breathe and lost control of herself. Dr. Fang and Dr. Susan immediately calm her and when there's no other way, they inject her with a sedative. She needs to be calm.

….

It's been two days since she wakes up on the hospital bed.

She was diagnosed having ASD 1 with the possibility to have PTSD 2 . She didn't have any appetite since then, her body weight drop and she look so…devastated. All-day long she keeps crying and staring at the outside of the window blankly.

Mr. Carson could no longer see her like this. He thought of bringing her back to the mansion will be a good idea as she needs her family support and starts a new life. It's not too late to save her from having chronic depression.

"Luna.." Mr. Carson brings her a blanket and covers her shoulder. She still silent and stare the outside of the window.

"Let's go home, alright?" He said again and Luna slowly shakes her head.

"I…" she stops for a moment to wipe her tears. "I want to meet him."

Mr. Carson sighing then he nods his head. "Alright..let's go and meet him before we went home, okay? Don't you miss your parents?"

Luna nod her head. She did miss them, she wants to see them and cry at their laps and told everything to them, but she also doesn't want it to be a burden to them. She doesn't want them to feel guilty for putting her in this situation now.

"We'll go see him tomorrow. So, you should have a good rest now. You don't want him to see your dark circle, right?" He said and help her to go to her room.

Luna helplessly standing up and return to the bedroom. Sleep and wait for tomorrow to come.
